I have never done this before so I though I would give it a go!

1. I am finally sailing home after years of journeying to get diamonds. The diamonds are to facilitate the production of iron and steel in an attempt to kick start the economy of the new group of communities we have argued in to existence over the rotting corpses of a previous regime.

2. I well dressed tailor who only works with cotton and who wishes someone actually wanted (to pay for) the marvelous, although somewhat expensive clothes he produces.

3. I am an anonymous nobody in a town of transients who has a fetish for chopping wood and a hatred of wild boars who will one day build a boat (he supposes).

4. I am a young adventurer who has been given a great helping hand by a lovely couple and a man running a newspawn orientation centre (being a female helped a lot). I have just built a dinghy and now spend my time flirting with potential travelling companions while farming tomatoes to try to recover from boar attacks.

5. I am the leader of the farmer’s guild in busy town who, after settling down into the job for a year or so, has gained enough equipment to give him wanderlust and who therefore has just handed in his keys as he prepares to taste adventure with 12kg of onions.

I am a former postman. I gave up my job to settle down and save my marriage, only to lose my wife to a sudden heart attack, now I am trying to find my way back to a fulfilling life again.

I am a kind but stressed out man, trying to save the economy of a town I still don't know why I care about.

I am living a peaceful life hopping from one odd job to the next with my lovely wife by my side.

I am a woman who has finally found her spark for life again, sailing the seas with my husband like we had talked about for years.

Ich habe viele Jahre Kohle gesammelt. Viele Leute in meine Stadt sprechen niederländsich oder spanisch, aber wenig sprechen jetzt meine Muttersprach. Ich bin allein, so ich mache jetzt eine Sprachhaus, so ich Fremdsprachen studieren können.

Ich bin eine Frau von einer Sumpf. Leben ist still dort. Ich habe Holz zu mein Dorf gebracht.

我捡木头。我有棚屋!

I am a very blank newspawn, with hardly a personality, waiting for people to respond.

I'm even older now, and haven't made any Jewellery for many years. Most of my old friends from the town have passed on, and I find little to keep me occupied anymore

I still love this town, even after all these years.
I died in the name of the town I loved, having been a leader since the system of government there was created. The words of those who killed me, just before my death, enforced my certainty that the fight was justified.

I miss the people who make me smile, and carrots have kinda lost their appeal.
Sleepiness has overcome me. Still missing my friends, and all of the new people are too boring... Although my old age has sapped most of the energy I used to have.

I'm making a map, and determined not to be beaten to it again.
I lucked out in finding a dirt bike, only to now be near-death at the hands of the multitude of animals on this island.

I have a shack, a boat and some barrels, but no fish.
Still no fish, but lots and lots of leather.
No scissors though...

I'm a spawn and run thief, soon to be dead.
I died
Whoever you vote for.

The government wins.

I Am....

An asparagus salesman building a sloop to expand his business

A trader aboard a darter with my long-time trading partner

A co-leader of a prosperous small town with an important resource to sell

A long-time resident of a town who is secretly trying to produce iron inside a building he owns

A vengeful man who spent his whole life making someone miserable, but now that someone is dead for other reasons, so he has no purpose now.

A frustrated young man in an old city

A REALLY frustrated young man in port city

An native of a new land who has joined a crew to explore it

A guy traveling around trading

A guy just traveling around, not trading

Someone helping start up a new community

A blacksmith worker

A bored worker

A boat thief who practically started a war when he stole a boat, a guard chased him, and then the guard proceeded to anger the other town by attacking me. Now I am being rehabilitated by a well-known, powerful group. Throughout the whole ordeal I never got a scratch.

Home and working with my love

Mourning the love of my life

Trying to keep everyone busy

a travelling trader

Gathering wood, very badly

a travelling trader

a ship's captain without a crew, trying to decide what to do with my life.

close to getting ready to build my vehicle and maybe breathe some life back into a town that was pretty dead the last time I saw it - 5 years or so ago.

I am bored

I am a travelling trader

I'm working quietly to get some weapons and infrastructure for this sleepy town

I am not missed by anyone - what's the point of life?

I think I'm falling in love again

I'm just passing time, gathering stuff and cooking mostly.

I'm new and still figuring out life


I am.......

Still working on a large project with the love of my life.

Done mourning, but am having trouble finding direction in life now.

A manager of a growing company

Still a travelling trader.

Still married. Working on rewarding a very loyal employee.

Still a travelling trader, but home at the moment.

I found a copy of Gallagher's Atlas and may set sail by myself to one of the primitive islands described in there.

I think I'm close to getting enough to return home to make my car.

I am still bored. *yawns*

I'm a travelling trader.

The town almost has its infrastructure. After that *shrugs* Who knows? My partner has died and I'm not sure what to do now.

I decided if I wasn't wanted by the town, I wouldn't give my life to it anymore and left with someone who actually talks to me and seems to like me.

I am in love again.

I am a bored trader. Nothing ever happens here.

I am still figuring out life. *grins* And I've fallen in love, too.

I have just lost my third love. I am fool, but I can see everything clearly now. Jos wants change in my town, and I am going to bring it.

I have gained the trust of my former jailer, and the Hawks are done for as far as I can see. I'm following him around.... I hope he takes me somewhere exciting.

I am a guard reunited with a long-lost love. Too bad she sleeps way too much. I have faith though.

I AM CAPTURED! I am so mad at myself, I knew it was a trap! I just needed the magnesium and then I could have been on my way back... but I fear that all might be lost now.

Ged is still the Senator, and he is very pleased that there are so many new people who wish to become citizens. But it is burdensome to run this town all by himself.

I am running the Steel Works pretty well, eh? I'd say so, and it looks like our town will have some brightness in it for awhile. :)

I have decided to become a Ranger. I have concluded that I talk much more than most people, and it is often, erm, frowned upon in society.

Barons . That good. Back home. Happy.
Just because you're older, smarter, stronger, more talented... doesn't mean you're BETTER.

I am inside a lot, amongst friends having the time of my life :) ...

I am being accused of terrible crimes, my life seems in the balance...

I am a grateful recipient of the products of serendipitous death, but why did the old fool not keep his stuff in better repair?

I am a man who has been having fun, but suddenly the responsibilities of my position weigh heavily upon my heart - I may have to kill a beautiful woman!

I am young in an area where youth is not valued, I will work hard and one day I will change things.
